Area of Science:

  • * Cheminformatics and computational chemistry.
  • * Quantitative structure-activity/property relationships (QSAR/QSPR).

Background:

  • * Chemical structures are numerically characterized by topological indices, such as the Wiener index (W).
  • * Topological indices are crucial in drug design, database screening, and assessing chemical similarity and diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To introduce novel topological indices derived from partitioning the Wiener index based on even and odd molecular graph distances.
  • * To generalize these indices with optimizable weighting exponents for QSAR/QSPR modeling.
  • * To evaluate the performance of these new indices in predicting physical properties of alkanes.

Main Methods:

  • * Development of new topological indices by analyzing even and odd counts of distances in molecular graphs.
